Three years after D-Day June 6, 1944 there is much in southern England to remind the returning return-ing GI of how that part of the island was jampacked with men munitions and supplies for the great jump-off that took the Allies into Normandy. Typical wartime picture is that at top, showing U. S. airborne invasion troops waiting to take off in gliders from an English airfield. Today, many of the ' airfields have been ploughed up for planting, like that at Bottisham, near Cambridge. Photo below shows this former U. S.

NICHOLS United Press Staff Correspondent EVANSTON, 111., June 13 (U.R The man who was the "Dr. I. Q." on the radio for so many years was the Rev. James Weslev Mc- Clain today broke and happy over his new way of life. The original "mental banker of the airlanes graduated from the Seabury-Western theological sem inary yesterday.

"I'm going to be a rural minister min-ister for the rest of my life," he said. "The pay for that sort of Cost of Living Bonus Promised Arctic Natives WASHINGTON. June 13 0J.R) The cost of living is going up even at the Arctic circle. The fish and wildlife service announced today that it is giving cost-of-living -bonus averaging $150 to each of the 136 native Aleuts who kill the fur-bearing seals on Pribilof Islands. In the past the natives have received an average of $450 aoiece has;in cash annually to kill the Pri- hasDiioi seals.

McClain asked for and was assigned to a mission at Eastland, Tex., a town of 4,500. "I'll love it there," said the man whose name was a household house-hold word to millions. "Although I was born in Kentucky, I consider con-sider myself a native of Texas since I rpent much of my life there." The former "I.Q." studied at the seminary for1 three years before he got his diploma. During two of those years he doubled as anonymous an-onymous radio personality and Bible student. Since he left the air the radio network for .which he worked has hired another "I.Q." McClain explained that while he made his fabulous salary he "spent a lot." "But much of it went to the church," he said,, "after Uncle Sam got his share. It also paid for my theological training and for a fine library, of which I am very proud." Yesterday's ceremonies in the little stone chapel at the seminary here were in sharp contrast to McClain Mc-Clain radio experiences. He was accustomed to audiences in the hundreds in theaters, plus uncounted un-counted millions listening in. Yesterday there were 200 relatives rela-tives and well-wishers of the 18 other graduates and himself. There were no microphones in the "balcony" or in "the lower aisle downstairs, doctor."
